PPO vs. HMO: What Changes for Chiropractic Care

Both plan types use networks. The difference is how much freedom you have inside and outside them.

PPO HMO (including Kaiser plans)
Choosing a provider You can see providers in the network, and a PPO also lets you go out of network. You generally must use the plan’s network, apart from emergencies and a few other cases.
Out-of-network care Usually covered, but you generally pay more. Usually not covered, apart from emergencies and other exceptions.
Monthly cost Often higher. Often lower.
Chiropractic coverage Varies by plan. Check your summary of benefits. Varies by plan, and the chiropractor generally must be in the plan’s network.

These are general patterns. Plans differ, so check the details of any plan you are considering.

That’s why our office leans toward PPO plans. Medicare.gov explains that a PPO lets you use out-of-network providers for covered services, usually at a higher cost. An HMO works differently. Medicare’s own guide to plan networks says HMO members generally must get care from the plan’s network.

However, an HMO can cost less each month, and some people do well with one. Because theChiropractor that accepts PPO in West LA: West Los Angeles Chiropractic®, 11340 W.
